Am I supposed to give it away or let people guess?
[spoiler]Cecropia moth[/spoiler]
No peeking! lol It grows into a really cool moth, which I've never seen, this one would have wintered over in a cocoon (I shot that pic in September) and emerged as a moth the next spring. I think they only live a few days as adults.
The white spots on this one are some kind of parasite or fungus or some disease. He would stop eating once in a while and tug at them trying to get them off. You can see where some of them have damaged his skin so much it's turned black, probably necrotized.

Mike called me from one of the guest cabins this morning to say that there was a big walking stick on one of the windows again, so I grabbed the camera and a ruler and toddled down there to grab a photo. I'm thinking that this robust girl might be ready to lay some eggs!
